Article L223-33 of the French Commercial code

If the capital increase is made, either in whole or in part by contributions in kind, the provisions of Article L. 223-9 shall apply. The contributions auditor is appointed unanimously by the partners or, failing this, by a court decision at the request of a partner or the manager.

Where no contributions auditor has been appointed or where the value adopted is different from that proposed by the contributions auditor, the managers of the company and the persons who subscribed to the capital increase are jointly and severally liable for five years, with respect to third parties, for the value attributed to the said contributions.

Article L223-33

Si l’augmentation du capital est réalisée, soit en totalité, soit en partie par des apports en nature, les dispositions de l’article L. 223-9 sont applicables. Le commissaire aux apports est désigné à l’unanimité des associés ou, à défaut, par une décision de justice à la demande d’un associé ou du gérant.

Lorsqu’il n’y a pas eu de commissaire aux apports ou lorsque la valeur retenue est différente de celle proposée par le commissaire aux apports, les gérants de la société et les personnes ayant souscrit à l’augmentation du capital sont solidairement responsables pendant cinq ans, à l’égard des tiers, de la valeur attribuée auxdits apports.
